Detecting duplicates is not a solved problem; it's hard. You have to compare strings and everything.

So...peer review, then? I suppose you could rebut comments from muppets if you were feeling a little bored but it's unclear what that would hope to achieve. Could you imagine stopping the industry which talks rubbish about the lunar l

Hard to tell whether this is serious or not. What field is this describing? Scientific papers? Random idiots just posting on websites? If the idea is to challenge it everywhere you're setting yourself up to being that person who never

You can get offline authentication apps which work around the world, unlike services which require cell phone coverage.

It seems that way to me. It seems there's simply no way to know who is calling, from where etc. It would be great if you could just see there caller's number but it seems just about anyone is able to spoof calls from anywhere. So

Most of the calls I get are people doing surveys, or lying about how I was in an accident and could make money from a legal claim. Neither pay any attention to the UK TPS (no call list); the former because that type of call isn't cover

Aren't you concerned that your lack of texts to people is going to cost you trade or goodwill? I appreciate your problem but at the end of the day it is your problem, and if it can be avoided by you simply texting people for free when

"the sony z3 and now my current galaxy s5 have the ability to add any # to a built-in Auto Reject list." My z3 doesn't. I'm running marshmallow. Where are you finding the option? On previous phones long pressing the cont

Perhaps she should have called using your father's phone.

Once someone has sought medical help (I'm assuming doctors and hospitals don't screen their calls) then contacting family members isn't such a life or death priority. Obviously you'll want to find out as soon as possible

It's very unlikely that that missed mystery call was important. There'll be times when you'll be waiting for the results of a hospital test or when a loved one is ill. But generally, all my communication is on opt-in systems

Yeah that's fixed it, thanks. My wallet folds notes but the app is accurate if I try and make them as flat as possible first.

No, it's the fault of the manufacturers (and indirectly google, who take take any number of actions to coerce manufacturers to provide updates either more speedily or at all). It's the user's problem, but for the majority of

I can take photos but the second and third tabs are empty; i can't see/set a reference. I tried ensuring the photo had a uk banknote in it (does it matter which?) but it made no difference.

The Android Play Store has a wishlist feature - it's next to install on that webpage, as well as from within the Play Store app.

"Better"? What, like an objective better which works for everyone? Maybe. Maybe there are better ways of learning coding than by watching videos, but it's still a good way to learn which works for some people.

No, but it you change BMW to another make of car that doesn't have the same level of stigma it makes perfect sense.

I don't know what ASP is and attempts to explain away how Android is far more popular than iOs are neither interesting nor relevant to this discussion (how did Apple get a massive head start if most consumers are price concious?); the

The most recent Nexus 10 update I got didn't cause any problems. I think it's Apple upgrades which slow phones down.

On Android it tends to default to automatically download updates but you can change this easily if you're in the minority of users who don't want enhancements and security fixes.

Not sure what os your phone is running but most people actually want phone updates as soon as possible. The reason people don't like Microsoft's Windows 10 upgrade tactics is that they do things like treat clicking the x to close

And the fact that Android is way more popular than iOs shows that most people simply don't know or care what version of Android they have because it makes almost no difference to how the apps they use work. If you care then you should

That's your take-away from the situation, not the fact a child was handcuffed and treated like a terrorist for purely anti-Muslim reasons? Wow.

That's an odd thing to say. It's at the heart of many legal systems. You hit a child with your car. Did they walk out in front of you and you didn't see them or did you have 2 seconds to brake/swerve but didn't want

Why, what would happen? Would it be worse than using, say, an S3? If you're talking about security, you'd be fine if you didn't do any shopping/banking etc. It's an dreaded essentially.

What, like the London Olympics in 2012? Did that bring in £20+ billion? Funny - I didn't notice my taxes being reduced or anything; just a few weeks of roadworks and unpopular sports being shown on TV.
